February 20, 2011

Wow!!  What about those Packers.  Had a great Super Bowl party at the Hensler's home in the Villages.   Fun watching the game and celebrating after. 

Weather in Florida finally turned for the better.  After several weeks of cold and rain, we have now hit a period of sunny skies and temps in the 70's.  Nice!  Friends Bill & Judy Hesser stopped by en-route to New Port Richy and returned for a day of golf and dinner.

Gayhart Condo Complex
Planned a day of kayaking with Gary Jorgesen and the girls go shopping, but weather did not cooperate, so enjoyed a new cribbage board game and fish dinner out.  Enjoyed their visit and fun game.





Art Festival
 Invited to Naples to spend a few days with friends Wayne and Shawnee Gayhart, celebrating Valentines day together.  Booked a nice luncheon boat cruise out of Fort Myers.  Beautiful day, great food, and a nice 4 hour boat cruise, dolphins running along with the boat.   Also spent a day at a very nice Art Festival in Coconut Point.  They gave us a great tour of their condo.  A really nice walkway to the water.  We also took in the Manatee Park in Fort Myers.

Manatee Park
Shari and I did a "dingy" cruise downstream on the Ocklawaha River, about 8 miles one way.  Just floating, Bob Fishing, not paying attention to where we were going.  Suddenly bumped shore and startled a very large gator.  Scared the "BaGeebees" out of Shari.  Bob did not see, but Shari said the largest gator she ever saw.  Fish Story??  Anyway, fortunate for us, no teeth on the tubes of the dingy, or would have been a very short float.

Gator with Packer Hat
Saw Rodney Atkins at the Sliver Springs Concert.  Was a beautiful day, so was a sizable crowd.  Music ok with some of his hit songs, but also introduced some pretty hard rock not to our liking.
